| "Need fixes for the Mac version" | 2009-06-04 |

The first issue - there were several updates or "fixes" we had to find and multiple install/uninstall/re-install cycles before the game would work correctly.
The second issue - there are more "outfits" for Sims to wear but you can't design your own clothes.
The graphics are greatly improved and is easier to play than the previous version. More active game time than other Sims games we have played. |

 "Fun for those that like to design people, houses, and lives." | 2009-03-07 |

Sims 2 is a game where you can actually create a life!
You design people, choosing their personality,clothes, complete facial features [with limitless options] their wants and aspirations, and their family.
You completey design houses for your sims you create to live in. You choose if it is a Contemporary Mansion, a Royal Castle, a small Ranch House, a Beach House, even an Archetecture Masterpiece! When you are done with the design, you can go into the house and completey create the interior the way you want with hundreds, if not thousands, of options.
You can also create stores, parks, spas, officies, etc.
The best part, is that you are in control of their lives! All their aspects, like daily needs, romance, friends, school, jobs, everything. You tell them exactly what to do, or let them do whatever they want. You can make them work out, dance a solo to a sound system, watch t.v., read a book, study, kiss, hug, shop, everything.
The thing is, you have to wait a while for it to load to go to different stores and saving takes a bit more then a typical game.
Either way, I am sure that anyone with a passion to design or live virtual lives will love this game.

 "Should run on Intel Macs" | 2009-02-24 |

I feel compelled to write a review because while researching the specs for this game, I found that none of the reviews here had my exact hardware/system software combo. While I ran the Aspyr Game Agent and passed the specs, I still saw that some people here had done the same and yet could not run the game. One review even distinctly tells Intel Macs owners to beware, especially those with Leopard 10.5, which is exactly what I have.
So I was apprehensive, but ultimately trusted the Game Agent, bit my tongue and bought it. And now, I am SO GLAD I DID!! I can say this much, the game is awesome, but more importantly, it works very well on my system. I also downloaded the Universal Binary patch from Aspyr.com and noticed a marked improvement in performance. Animation is consistently smooth and loading times are reasonable. In short, I am impressed, but perhaps only because these reviews lowered my expectations. I don't even have to quit other applications for it to run well.
For those with Intel Macs & Leopard, do some research into your graphics card, but on the whole you should be fine. I have a MacBook Pro, running OS X 10.5.4, 2 Ghz Intel Core Duo, with 1.5GB SDRAM and as said before, the game runs very well. I would download, use and trust the Aspyr Game Agent. Good luck! |

| I bought this game a couple of months ago, and it was just as fun, if not more fun than the original sims games that I remember playing years ago. But then while studying for test and things I didn't have a chance to play it for about a month. When I went to play it again it just wouldn't open. The icon would bounce in the dock and then do nothing. So I tried to reinstall it and nothing happened. I still have no idea what do about it and having finally just given up. $40 wasted because EA games has yet to successfully put their games on macs. |

| The game is fun, additional game extensions would make it more fun, such as purchasing the Sims Dating or any other one, which I am planning to do. |
